@ fork in me, done (whining)

Breathe, just breathe. It will be ok, I've been there, twice. Take a nice warm bath and fill the tub as much as possible to take the stress off your hips, back, and joints. Read a non baby book in the tub and relax. Drink a cup of chamomile tea.

You'll make it, I promise. Once baby Thor is here, you'll forget all the aches and pains of pregnancy. I hated being pregnant and had a helluva time with it and I STILL want to do it all over again.

If you can't take a bath, sit in a dim room, light some candles, and try to relax. Aromatherapy helped me too.

GL! You can do this!

I'm sorry! I can't imagine. I hope you can find some peace or convince DH it's in his best interest to screw the hell out of you or listen to you be miserable. That said, I think baby Thor should be allowed to stay put until he's ready (again, I have no kids. so no idea.)

*big hugs* can I send you anything that would make it better?

Thanks. ;-; I know he needs to bake longer just... I think I've hit that infamous wall.

And thanks for the offer, kari! I wish I could eat like a real deep dish pizza, but I think I'll wait on eating until after Thor's born. XD

Message me your address when he's done baking! There are some great places that deliver worldwide here! I'll hook you up Chicago style!

i'm sorry. the end of the pregnancy is really icky when you're just *so* over it and you just want to meet your baby. but enjoy the time. here are some things i miss, now that i'm a mom:

- eating an uninterrupted meal with two hands..and getting messy. (try eating bbq ribs, peel-your-own crab, shrimp..)
- sleeping for more than 2 hours a time
- going to the grocery store for something quick
- going to happy hour (food happy hours)
- long showers
- pooping (seriously, poop as much as you can right now, bc you'll be blocked up, and then not have time bc it takes longer when it's blocked up).

Have you considered getting a pregnancy massage? How about acupuncture? I know those things helped me relax and get back to an emotional happy place.

Also, you can try some stretching exercises or prenatal yoga.

I took myself to the movies a lot the two weeks I was done with work before bkb was born. It was the best thing ever. I watched more movies those two weeks than I have in the last two months. I also took a lot of long walks and drank a lot of pumpkin milkshakes. Besides fire crotch and being bloated and being sick all the time it was the best two weeks ever!

Well then go take a long shower, go to happy hour, make a quick stop at the store....go crazy. Make multiple stops while out and about and don't worry about a baby in the carseat. And poop. Go poop.

I actually found it much easier to poop after baby, but I also didn't labor a fraction of the time jennlin did. Just my two cents ;-)

Ditto. I didn't poop for 6 days after I had my c/s.

And Spun, you CAN have wine - just don't go overboard. A small glass will not hurt anything.
